I can say that the last two years I have seen BH play and no that don't have an overflow of talent and size. But' date=' they seemed well coached and played hard. Very much a blue collar team that gets everything they have out of their athletes and they do have some that can play. You can make up a lot by having discipline and heart.[/quote']

That is how i see BH as well. But i doubt that Jody and BHFan would agree.

PEARLAND — Coming into Saturday night’s contest the Barbers Hill Eagles figured to have a tough time with Wharton. After all, the Tigers had 14 starters coming back from last year’s team and were ranked No. 5 in the Greater Houston Area. No one told the Eagles, as Barbers Hill took an easy 23-6 victory over the Tigers at “The Rig.â€

“I thought our kids played hard all the way through and the effort was always there,†said Barbers Hill head coach Don Price. “We came out with some first night jitters but once we worked those out we were OK.â€

After the teams traded possessions for most of the first quarter it was the Eagles who put together a nice drive. Using the arm and legs of Blake Patton, Barbers Hill went 64 yards on nine plays with Patton scoring from a yard out with only 11 seconds to go in the quarter.

Leading 7-0 heading into the second quarter the Eagles defense started to assert themselves, causing the first of five turnovers. Derek Hulsey would fall on a Tiger fumble giving his team the ball at the Wharton 28-yard line. Barbers Hill would drive down to the Tiger 4 line before Wharton would hold, setting up a Nick Coggin 24-yard field goal and a 10-0 lead.

Wharton looked as if they were going to get on the board before the first half ended by driving all the way down to the Eagle 12-yard line. Jonathan Delgado halted the drive though by picking off a Joel Ansley pass.

Early in the third quarter it was once again the defense who would set up the Barbers Hill offense in great field position. Kyle Cox pounced on a Wharton fumble giving the Eagles the ball at the Tiger 18-yard line. After a bad exchange from center on first down moved Barbers Hill back to the 22-yard line, it was Blake Patton hitting Michael Davis on a 22-yard touchdown pass. Davis caught the pass at the 10, cut to the right and slipped into the end zone for the Eagle touchdown.

“There are two guys who are both playing in new positions for us and scoring a touchdown,†added Price.

Joe Sexton then got into the act by picking off a Ansley pass to end another Wharton drive. The Eagles then went on their second 64-yard scoring drive on the night, this time needing only seven plays as Todd Patton scored from a yard out for a 23-0 Barbers Hill lead with 4:14 left in the third quarter.

Wharton would finally get on the board as Ansley hit Jamail Shelton from nine yards out on the first play of the fourth quarter.

“It was a nice way to start the season off,†said Price. “The coaches did a good job of getting our kids prepared for their speed.â€

For the game the Eagles put up 265 yards of total offense. Blake Patton was 12 for 16 through the air for 119 yards while Todd Patton rushed for a game high 129 yards on 22 carries.

Barbers Hill will head to the piney woods next Friday as they travel to Jasper to tangle with the Bulldogs. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

So how did the offense do?

We have heard the Defense did well.

The offense did good enough to win. With a new QB and a center who had trouble the first 1/2, there are still things they need to work on. This should develop over the next two weeks while peparing for district. After Jasper we will see when they face a tough Bellville.

The scrimmage issues were resolved and it's going to be hard to score often on the defense. Your going to have to bring your A-Game to beat them on the line or in the secondary.

The new center is a a Sophmore. He's a stout kid thats gonna be really good player for us
